Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2026-04-25 11:11 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:11 – Source website

Summary

vim security update

Details

Vim is an advanced text editor that seeks to provide the power of the de-facto Unix editor 'Vi', with a more complete feature set. Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing. It is an improved version of the vi editor distributed with most UNIX systems.

Security Fix(es):

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0316, a command injection vulnerability in Vim's netbeans interface allows a malicious netbeans server to execute arbitrary Ex commands when Vim connects to it, via unsanitized strings in the defineAnnoType and specialKeys protocol messages. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0316.(CVE-2026-39881)

Severity

5.0 (Medium)
